Hey I have been wondering, in high school during my freshman year i took all the honors classes even though i never took them in middle school. I did struggle a lot to keep up with all the amount of work given to me and received Cs in some of my classes. I know that it’s very difficult to get into Ivy League schools, but did I ruin all my chances of getting in or can I still make it of I do extracurricular activities, volunteering and sports?
Schools like to see an upward trend; if you can improve your grades over the course of your high school career, I’m sure that the trend will be weighted heavier than your Cs. Remember that most institutions place more emphasis on sophomore and junior year grades when considering an applicant.
Thank you I’ll keep that in mind.
^ such as UCs which do not care much about freshman year!
Wityh multiple Cs your only hope at an ivy is to have a big time hook.
Like being a high D1 level quarterback.
Is attending an Ivy just a lot of stressful work and non of the fun college experience
@Visionary7 from what I heard, people do have that kind of experience.
For the Ivys, a lot of people with great stats and great ECs get rejected from all of the ones they applied to.
